Work in Progress
Work in Progress is a photographic enquiry exploring the significance of urban planning and infrastructure for pedestrian experiences of the landscape in an era of climate change.
Situated in California and Texas the project draws on the difficulty of accessing and traversing locations in environments that have been shaped by America’s continued reliance on cars and fossil fuels.
‘It is traditional in urban societies to see nature as a lost paradise. Yet, nature is indifferent to any kind of ethics or esthetics. Nature thrives to survive and develop wherever it can. In contrast, artifacts wither and decay, they can only survive when maintained and repaired.’ (Danchin, 2000)
